8 weeks and freaking myself out!

Hi Ladies, Im new here and hope I am posting this in the right place. I am 8 weeks today and my first appointment is this Friday, Dec. 7th! 2 MORE DAYS! So excited, yet sooooo scared.... I have been one of those first time moms reading every single NEGATIVE article the internet has to offer! We definitely live in a world with way TOO much information! I have had few symptoms from the start. My primary one being sore breasts and sensitive nipples. I have NOT been sleepy, no morning sickness, no weird food aversions/cravings, metallic taste, nothing. Just peeing alot and sore breasts. At 5 weeks the soreness faded away and I freaked out then but after a day or 2 it came back. Now again it has faded away, but it has been a few days and it hasnt came back yet. I have had no severe cramps or any bleeding/spotting at all. But I am so scared this may be due to a missed miscarriage. I have to poke and prod to feel any soreness on the sides and in between on the insides and it isnt even bad at all. Being this was my only symptom basically, now that it is gone I am panicking! Anyone have any experience or advice. Im so scared for my appointment, im so scared there wont be a heartbeat. I know every woman is different and every pregnancy as well, but I cant help but worry this may be a bad sign....

Im trying. I freaked out when this happened before at 5.5weeks, so when I started to notice the soreness fading again, I kept myself sane by saying it happened before and the soreness came back, no biggy. But its not bak yet! Ugh... I would love to have more symptoms! My friend says im crazy. She has one, this is my first and I complain about no morning sickness! I still feel dull cramps and thats all that keeps me calm at this point. As long as we hear a strong healthy heartbeat friday, I will be ok. So you had no,symptoms with your first and still had healthy baby?

Don't freak out. I'm 5 weeks with my second one. So far sore breasts is all I have had and its getting better. I won't get to see the doc for 4 more weeks so I can understand how u feel! I just want a healthy heartbeat too. My first pregnancy was 10 years ago so my body is different now or sure but each one is different is what they say. Keep us posted!

I have basically the same story. keep us posted! I'm 6w5d first pregnancy. I had sore boobs, could smell people's feet, and 2 mornings of slight nausea. now I don't have anything other than less sore boobs. mild cramping. no food aversions or fatigue. my first US is the 17th. I'm driving myself crazy. good to hear others feel the same but I hope everything is ok for both of us! lmk!

Don't worry! I'm in my second pregnancy now and when I was pregnant with my first son I had NO signs of pregnancy at all except the missed period! I remember waiting for that first doctors visit. I bought a bunch of pregnancy tests at the dollar store and took one every other day just to make sure I was still pregnant! I never had a sick day and worked until the Friday before I had my son that Saturday! I had the easiest pregnancy! Consider yourself one of the lucky ones! Stop worrying :)

My boobs stopped being sore around 7 1/2 weeks and I freaked because that was the only symptom I had but right around 9 weeks the morning sickness kicked in...bad lol. Try to not stress and think happy thoughts :) Good Luck!

Went great! Doc. Said "everything looks great!" Got to see our little one and see its little flickering heartbeat. Looked good and strong! unfrtunately no actual BMP tho. Were measuring 7 weeks and 4 days. I was a bit worried about that at first, cuz going off LMP I should be 8 weeks and 2 days. But she didnt seem too concerned at all. So im not going to stress about it seeing its heart beating was the best experience of my life and I feel like such a weight has been lifted off me. Now under 3% chance of mc! :) and she assured everything looked good. My breasts are still mildly sore. I barely notive it, still no ms, food aversions/cravings, nothing but my occasional breast tenderness and frequent trips to bathroom. O and im hungry like every 2 hours, no joke! And I gotta eat or I get weak and shaky and feel wretched. But we are good! Thank the Lord!

I know this is WAY easier said than done trust me. But DO try not to worry yourself crazy like I did. Apparently all the horror stories of morning sickness and food aversions/cravings dont happen actually all that frequently. We only hear the bad side of first trimester usually, but when I went in they asked me how I was feeli ng, any ms and I said no, I feel great waiting for a reactiin of,worry from them and nope, nothing! I told them I had been so scared cuz of my lack of symtoms, and breast soreness fading off. Like everyone said here as well as other posts all over internet, its perfectly normal. Theyz said half the women they see have little to no symptoms at all. Trust me, once u make it to ur first appt and see ur babys heartbeat u will feel 100% better! Mmc dont happen as often as I thought, when I type it in to search of course tons of stories from pregnant women that did have that very unfortunate experience will come up, just like typing in anythi ng will bring up info (whether its good, bad or rare)... Guess im trying to say TRY and I mean try, cuz I know its hard, to just stay calm and not look up as much stuff as I did! Lol you should be perfectly fine as long as there is no severe cramps or bleeding. No ymptoms or fading symptoms is just as normal as all symptoms. :)

Thank you for sharing!! I'm experiencing exact same stuff - very little symptoms, no ms, just had tender breasts last 2 weeks. Today the tenderness is gone - no other symptoms left than constant hunger. I'm 5w2d, so naturally freaking out that something was wrong (missed miscarriage?!) Can't help but worry, I'm 37 and this is my first. But many are saying symptoms come and go and its normal. My first pre-natal is on Friday - fingers crossed it all goes well! Congrats and good luck on yours :)

Yea everyone kept telln me its normal, but of course i still worried non stop. MMC are not that common. Like 1% or something very low like that. Im sure your are fine. My only symtpoms(breast tenderness) faded at around 5.5 weeks but came back week 7. Not as bad though, I dont notice it now unless someone hugs me. Its perfectly normal. Im sure you are fine like I am! Just a scared mother is all. I feel so great after seeing heartbeat, you will too. Just hang in there til appt.

Congrats! I was the same way, I kept thinking I can't be pregnant I have no symptoms (except for sore breasts). Then I got a little nauseas around 10-12 weeks, but not too bad. I'd say we're the lucky ones, who wants to be hugging the toilet all day?! Enjoy yourself :) oh I also googled everything like crazy at first, but have since stopped bc it will just caused more worry and stress. I decided that's what the doctors are for

Don't freak out. I started getting morning sickness at 11 weeks and the only symptoms I had were a little bloating and tiny bit of soreness. I didn't even think I was really pregnant! I'm now 28+4 weeks and believe me I dream of being in the first trimester now

Don't worry too much. The added stress won't help. It's my first as well and I'm in the middle of my sixth week. I haven't had hardly any symptoms either. Just a few mood swings. I was really freaking out a few days ago. My first appointment is next week but it seems like forever. I have a knowledgeable family member who worked in obstetrics. She told me that some women don't show any symptoms throughout the entire first trimester. I have also been told by more than one experienced mother that some of the time the best thing you can do to settle your mind is just have a little faith. Good luck.

I had this pain beacuse i cant digest the food right anymore from this prenatal vitamins. I started reading what this sore feeling can be. I did it for three days, reading all kind of stuff, freaking myself out about maybe having the egg in the wrong place and end up with miscarrige. I finally decided to stop reading to much and ask the doctor. I ended up getting some fiber drink which i use now once in a while and i m good. I know now what the pain is once in a while and how to stop it. So far this and a little upset stomach is the only sign. Once in a while my breast hurts a little but not to much.

I think the best we can do is to be relaxed, eat health and when ever we have an concern to write it down for the next appointment and ask the doctor or midwife. The rest will happen on its own
